Move Payment Records to the Staging Area

Once the payment records are uploaded and validated in the pre-staging area, you can move the records to the staging area. The system allows you to move only valid and error records of a payment data file to the staging area. If a payment data file contains an invalid record, you cannot move any record of the payment data file to the staging area. In such scenario, you need to correct the invalid payment records and upload the same file once again in the system. In addition, if you have cancelled a payment data file, you cannot move any records (including valid and error records) of the payment data file to the staging area.

You can move the payment records to the staging area by clicking the Move to Staging () icon corresponding to the payment data file in the Payment Upload screen. The Move to Staging () icon appears when:

• The status of the payment data file is Validated.

• There are no invalid records in the payment data file.

• The Disable Move to Staging check box is not selected in the respective file type.

On clicking the Move to Staging () icon, the payment records are copied (and not moved) from the pre-staging to staging area and the status of the payment data file is changed to In Staging. In addition, the status of the payment records in the pre-staging area is changed to In Staging and the status of the deposit control, tender control, and payment tender staging records is set to Pending. Once you move the payment records to the staging area, you can edit the payment staging records, if required.
